Just a few weeks ago, Christine Frazer and her family of four generations were forcefully evicted from their home in an Atlanta suburb at 3am by a dozen squad cars and dozens of law enforcement officers.
Why was so much overwhelming force needed to do this, and why under cover of darkness? The reason given was that supposedly some nonviolent protestors from Occupy Atlanta were also present.
It is bad enough that people get evicted from a housing system intended to steal wealth from people. We, the people, are only modern feudal serfs who have property by the “graciously dear lords” of state. Property rights are non-existant, and we are taxed directly and indirectly for more than half of our income.
It surprises me that noone in that family was killed by over two dozen power-glazed toys, or that the three year old grandson or eighty-five year old mother weren’t tazed for moving too slowly that early in the morning. I’d move fast too if all those guns were aimed my direction.
Power corrupts, and there was absolutely corrupt power showed with that display of force. While the police pretend to keep the peace, they are actually encouraging unrest and militancy by their presence. The Occupy movement is a peaceful one, and the “law” continues to show up in full military gear. Sooner or later, likely sooner, some trigger finger that has been itching for a long time is going to cut loose on peaceful protestors, and the blood will flow one way down the streets, and perhaps then the rest of the nation will wake to the slavery they’ve been trained not to see.
Vampires can not feed themselves if their only source of life-blood removes itself from the herd mentality. Nonviolence through noncompliance can bring down the evils of statehood, if enough truly value the lives of themselves, their spouses, their children, and their fellow man. Until then, man is doomed to one bloody regime of organized criminals after another and one miserable, eternal slavery.

I believe that stories like this one are purposefully designed to incite disorder to give the powers that be even more justification to use coercion to achieve their political agenda. It gives more credence to our feeling of powerlessness and against these forces, I am not one to argue that they will continue to win as long as we are reactive instead of proactive. I believe that calling these forces as one bloody regime of organized criminals is not helpful to the cause of freedom, it merely galvanizes us like the sheep we are supposed to be. I prefer thinking as Jesus did, calling to his father in the hour of his greatest need when he said “Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.”

I agree that there are many things that are used to ‘incite disorder’ in the populace, and to distract, such as the trial of OJ Simpson, though here it seems a little bit of a stretch to say that the sheriff was given misinformation so he could bring a larger posse. I do understand the galvanizing effect these words can have on people, but things feel as if mankind is in its last possible position to achieve freedom, considering the manner of technology being brought to bear.
I am generally a very easy person to get along with, though I find it increasingly difficult to not speak when it comes to these type issues. It scarcely crosses my mind how much easier things would be if I’d put my head back into the box of normalcy; but, I don’t entertain these thoughts for long.
I don’t know if these posts are going to effect much changing of the world, but I need to make them, if only for my daughter to benefit.
Thanks for the comment, and sorry for the delay.

I am so proud of the people who have been strong enough to continue the protests. We should all be doing something because there is too much that is wrong…and not doing anything at all will never heal the tremendous ills of this world. I’m really not sure I understand Deanna’s comment, and actually hope that I’m misreading it. We need to be kept aware and we need to think…not covering up what is going on and refusing to face the wrongdoings. We should all be kept fully aware and the information presented in this blog’s post is evidence that someone IS thinking, that someone DOES care. What kind of world have we created for our children, and our children’s children?

Carol, I hope I can clarify by saying that Jesus, the Dalai Lama and Mahatma Gandhi said that you must have compassion for your enemies while you are non-violently opposing them or you become them and all you do is for naught. Deanna

The reason I am ultimately as non-violent as I am is because I realized that the spilling of blood doesn’t solve the problem. I am one to defend myself by what ever means I choose, but I will not live by the sword.

Carol, agreed. I know a couple in Californica who after a long battle are to finally get their kids back. I had something laying around, which when sold was equivalent to a full month’s pay, of which he got the entirety. It is good to know that some parents won’t lose their children to the state machine, and that I did a good thing with my assistance.
He was forced to live quite a while on the streets, even living in homeless housing that was filled with drug addicts. He told me that those destitutes were selling tap water as holy water for five dollars a gallon at christmas. Nuts, I know.
Even now, I think that my phone and chat conversations with him helped him more than my gift. And who says an atheist can’t be charitable… ‘-)

That’s horrible, Tim. The sad thing is that type of stuff is going to happen ever increasingly. Monkey see, monkey doo, especially when the monkeys are as nearly omnipotent as all the power of imagined friends.

The police are definitely not always invested in keeping the peace. More likely, they are involved in maintaining whatever vision of “order” their superiors possess. I’ve met quite a few great cops and witnessed many instances where they’ve been doing what I feel was a great job. They caught the guys I witnessed robbing my neighbor’s house. They pulled over the pickup truck whose cargo was spilling all over the road, into the path of my bike. But in instances like the one you describe, I wonder why we have a police force at all.

But you must recognize that there are some cops who genuinely want to protect people from danger and injustice, just as there are people in any profession who genuinely enjoy and identify with what they do. They understand that they are truly public servants and not appointed emissaries for the scriptures of absolute law.

This is why I cringe at blanket statements of police hatred, in the same way I cringe at such statements directed toward any group: they are inaccurate at best and misleading or false at worst. Now, I’m not an apologist for police brutality and violence, but I do believe that once they put on that uniform society expects them to drop their emotions, prejudices, and generally stop being human in the performance of their duties, which is eminently impossible. In the face of life-threatening danger, we somehow expect them to be able to keep their heads. They can succeed in doing this through weapons, armor, and tactics. They can also do this by dehumanizing those who threaten them. The problems we see with cops acting like total automaton assholes practically fall on top of us from there.

So while I agree that a concerned person could do what police officers do, it couldn’t happen in our society. We don’t respect each other enough to do that. “Could”: absolutely. “Would”: not on your life.

You are correct in saying that persons of all professions enjoy and identify with what they do. The same would apply with those who ‘serve and protect ‘. However, the moment I am forced to pay for protection by another, all applicable freedoms are infringed. I’d feel more free if I wasn’t forced to pay. I can live without that protection as can many.
As for hatred, I don’t hate the men. I deal with off duty non-uniformed officers the same way I deal with other men. It is the fact that it is thrown in our faces our real position in society that I hate. It goes the same for those other emissaries of absolute scripture. If they treat others as equals regardless, then no problem ; but when they label others evil for a rational based system of morality because they have the “divine ” world view, that I take serious issue with. (loved that phrasing btw) .
As for people stepping up to societal responsibility , unfortunately ,there is no magic answer. Only the slow hopeful progress of humanity will bring this about. The fastest sure route to this is better child rearing. Since that can only be shown, not forced, I don’t expect to see it in my lifetime.
Perhaps I am too idealistic in this regard, but I can’t not hope for the best.
